Space Florida

Space Florida, a Florida state government entity and port authority headquartered in Merritt Island, Florida, supplies aviation turbine fuel to the Department of Defense through a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, operating as a prime contractor on full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations.

Space Florida's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in fuel logistics. The vendor holds a single-award IDIQ effective October 1, 2025, through March 31, 2029, with a ceiling of $165,972.71 and has issued 1,663 delivery orders under this vehicle as of April 2026, representing 99% of all prime awards in the source data. The IDIQ covers aviation turbine fuel (JAA) delivery across multiple East Coast states and territories—Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, and Puerto Rico—with primary operational concentration at Merritt Island near Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Delivery orders carry fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment terms. Representative recent orders include a $65,422.97 delivery on November 25, 2025; a $36,795.28 delivery on November 4, 2025; a $35,839.82 delivery on October 29, 2025; and a $27,784.19 delivery on November 6, 2025; the vendor also issued multiple sub-$5,000 orders reflecting routine daily fuel procurement across the contract's performance period.

Space Florida's customer base is narrow and defense-focused. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 1,663 awards (98.8% by count) and $2.7 million in combined potential value. NASA Kennedy Space Center is the second customer, holding 5 awards worth $2.9 million combined potential value, anchored by a definitive contract for Shuttle Landing Facility landing fees through March 31, 2031, valued at $675,320.37. The Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center has placed 4 awards. Combined, these three customers represent 100% of awards in the source data. The concentration reflects Space Florida's role as a specialized fuel and aerospace logistics provider for federal operations in the Cape Canaveral region rather than a broad-based contractor.

Award activity has remained relatively flat year over year—407 awards in 2022, 349 in 2023, 348 in 2024, 353 in 2025, and 133 through April 2026—reflecting the high-velocity, small-dollar delivery order pattern characteristic of fuel supply contracts. The combined potential value across all 1,683 awards stands at $6.7 million, though obligated dollars total $9.9 million, indicating that invoiced performance has exceeded quoted ceilings on individual delivery orders, a common dynamic with fixed-price-with-adjustment fuel contracts that span commodity price fluctuations.

Space Florida is a subsidiary of the State of Florida and competes exclusively as a prime contractor; sub-award footprint is minimal (two sub-awards representing less than 1% of the portfolio). The vendor's NAICS profile is anchored in Petroleum Refineries (NAICS 324110, 1,663 awards) with secondary exposure to nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation and administration of general economic programs. PSC coding reflects the fuel-supply focus: Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base (1,663 awards) dominates the profile, with minor exposure to airport operations and space research services reflecting the NASA work.

The parent IDIQ under Defense Logistics Agency Energy (SPE60722D0008) anchors the footprint with 1,447 task orders valued at $1.6 million. A second DLA Energy IDIQ (SPE60725D0092) carries 214 task orders worth $456 thousand. Two Air Force IDIQs (FA881810D0025 and FA881811D0025) each support one task order valued at $30 thousand. The concentration on a single DLA Energy vehicle exposes Space Florida to recompete risk; the contract runs through March 31, 2029, but any change in ordering patterns or vendor selection could materially affect the award pipeline.
